Details: Not certain is wether Hans Jungwirt was mentioned in the Ehrenblatt des Heeres or der Luftwaffe. According to sources (Scheibert) he was supposed to have received the Ehrenblattspange des Heeres, but photos show him wearing the Ehrenblattspange der Luftwaffe.

Details: The award is considered to be a non-confirmed award.
Proposal arrived at HPA on 26.04.1945 and was handed over to the LPA on 30.04. ; there, the original proposal of the unit (Erstausfertigung) for Hengstler and Deutsch [Fsch.Stug.Brig 12] have been arrived already and LPA-VVs were prepared which were sent to the Adjutantur des Reichsmarschalls on 24.04.1945 (but Göring was arrested already) ; therefore General Meister himself made the award for Deutsch on 28.04. and rejected the one for Hengstler ; during this procedure it apparently happened that the proposal for Jungwirt wasn't treated in any way ; no confirmation to find in the files of the Bundesarchiv (Akte Jungwirt is incomplete , plundered completely) ; award accepted by OdR in accordance with so-called Dönitz-Erlass ; award date determined by Fellgiebel
